His mother is a pure breed American bully and father is a razor edge gotti pitbull. Both parents are extremely smart. Vader is very active and playful. He loves car rides and knows how to sit in one spot. We are just looking for someone who can take him in and take care of him. He is up to date on shots. We just don't have the time to give give him the support he needs. He knows simple commands of sit, no, come and a few more. He's very eager to learn more. He gets along with children and other dogs extremely well. With the right training and care he will be the perfect family addition. We currently have his mother as well who is in one of the pictures behind him. We are also adding her to this site as we would hope they could stay together.

She has her moments of being calm and laid back, like her mom. She is a pure-breed American Bully. She will come with her registration papers.

Snacks she loves to eat chicken feet and play with our children. She is a TV watcher. She gets along with other dogs and was born on April 22, 2025. We are looking for a serious, experienced, loving family to take her in. Adoption fee is non-negotiable. Please do not fill out an application if you are not serious. As you will be wasting our time viewing applications for someone who is just being nosey, compared to someone who is serious.

Story
Ellie is young at heart even though she has arthritis. She does not let height keep her away from cuddles and a little play time. She is a quiet dog and likes to spend a lot of time napping, but is not a fan of thunder, fireworks, or noises that resemble this. She is not shy when it comes to meeting new people, which is a blessing most days. The reason she needs a new home is that I have found that I cannot afford to maintain her medical needs due to her daily incontinence problems. I believe that she needs more special attention, and with my work and extracurricular activities, I am unable to provide that for her. She adores children and can meet their energy until she is ready to take a nap. It would be great to see her go to someone special and get more love. Her vet records are up to date.
